Soybean is the leading segment owing to the high demand for animal feed, especially from Asia-Pacific countries, such as India and China, where the livestock population is increasing steadily. The soybean type segment is expected to register the highest growth rate due to the growth in demand for biodiesel derived from soybean feedstock, which in turn results in high growth of the market for processed oilseed products.

The oilseed processing market, on the basis of process, is segmented into chemical and mechanical. The chemical process segment accounted for the largest market share in 2015. This process ensures maximum extraction of oil content from the seed with minimal residue in meals.

The global market, on the basis of application, is segmented into food, feed, and industrial. The food segment accounted for the largest market share in 2015. Oilseed processed products such as edible oil are used to a large extent in various food products across the globe. Some of the common products derived from oilseeds are protein concentrates, flour, and lecithin.

Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest market share for market in 2015, owing to the increase in demand for various oilseed products such as soybean meal in countries such as India and China. However, Latin America is projected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period, due to the high adoption of the upgraded seed technologies in comparison to other regions in order to cater the growing demand for the oilseed processed products.

The major restraining factor for this market is price instability due to the seasonal nature of various crops is the major factor that hampers the market growth of the oilseed processing products. Moreover, limited availability of the oilseeds is expected to restraint the growth of the oilseed processing market globally during the forecast period.

Archer Daniels Midland Company (U.S.), one of the prominent players in the oilseeds processing market, focuses on expanding its oilseed processing capacity in order to cater to the huge customer base to develop new products.
